Well if I had Romo I throw it towards the middle of the field. With Kitna I play it safe. And even playing the sidelines worked. I question why not atleast take one chance in the middle of the field but I guess that's Garrett not having enough faith in Kitna or this offense. I thought we'd take atleast one shot in the middle of the field or even a draw with Felix.

I have to disagree about the roy mistake however, it'a all on him and it was a horribly stupid play that directly did cost them the game.
He did NOT have to make a play once he was caught, if he'd just fell down they would have won it. It was something a rookie or a dumb-in-the-head player does. I have to put him in that second category I guess and I haven't been a fan who has dumped on Roy a bunch. Really there isn't anything other than a collossal screwup by Roy on that one.
It was good to see him completely take responsibility for it after the game as he should.

If Roy would've fell down there would've been 3 minutes left with 2 timeouts. Cowboys would've ran the ball 3 times with Barber or Felix and they would've settled for a field goal. Now who knows how much time is left at that point. But chances are there would've been 1:30 to 2:00 left on the clock. The game wasn't over after the Roy fumble and if i'm a contender I feel pretty good about my chances giving someone the ball on the 10 yard line with 3 minutes to go. What happened after the Roy fumble is what's unacceptable. Jenkins made a great play. A play that our corners never even attempt.
Roy took blame because he's trying to say the right things. But Roy didn't lose that game for us yesterday. We were winning by 4 points with that fumble.
